Hello, I'm reaching out for advice as I'm currently in the process of fundraising for the acquisition of an F5VS Corpus wheelchair, which is essential for improving my mobility. Having access to this advanced wheelchair model not only enhances my physical movement but also significantly boosts my social interactions, allowing me to participate more actively in various community events and gatherings. Additionally, the newfound independence provided by the F5VS Corpus wheelchair empowers me to navigate daily life with greater autonomy, ultimately improving my overall quality of life."

    Hi @Albus_Scope thank you for replying to my post. 

    I am currently unemployed, and I do not have the means to purchase the electric wheelchair, my current wheelchair does not stand and is getting old. So I need a way to raise the funds for the chair.

    I need advice on how to fundraise, how to get it started and names of charity that will help for fundraising.
